Summary
StrBuf should be renamed to String.
Motivation
Since StrBuf is so common, it would benefit from a more traditional name.
Drawbacks
It may be that StrBuf is a better name because it mirrors Java StringBuilder or C# StringBuffer. It may also be that String is confusing because of its similarity to &str.
Detailed design
Rename StrBuf to String.
Alternatives
The impact of not doing this would be that StrBuf would remain StrBuf.
Unresolved questions
None.
